“The legal world is slow to change. We want to break some ground here and keep pace with the rest of the world so we can settle disputes as quickly and seamlessly as possible. That’s what we’re here to do.”

KALLI NIES
Senior Litigator

In her commercial litigation practice, Senior Litigator Kalli Nies has developed a focus on business insurance coverage litigation. She draws on her experience as a former insurance defense litigator to advocate for the rights of policyholders and help them protect their businesses.

Kalli’s commercial litigation practice serves both large corporations and regional businesses across a broad range of industries, and includes a focus on insurance coverage disputes. With experience taking countless depositions, arbitrating claims, and first-chairing more than ten cases to verdict, Kalli is at home in the courtroom and well prepared to advocate in that setting.

Kalli’s pragmatic approach to resolving disputes is also deeply informed by her prior experience litigating on the other side of insurance coverage matters. She provides clients valuable insight into how insurance companies view litigation versus settlement, how they value their claims, and how they develop their litigation strategies. Kalli values efficiency and the straight talk clients rely on to make informed decisions.

Through it all, Kalli crafts her legal strategies to serve her clients’ business goals, aggressively advocating for their rights so they can continue to grow and thrive.
